Ingredients

  • ¾ lb ground beef
  • ½ yellow onion diced
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper omit pepper for AIP
  • 1 medium sweet potato diced
  • 1 ½ cup dairy-free cheese sauce
  • Shredded dairy-free cheese see notes
  • 2 tbsp cilantro chopped

Instructions

  • Set a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef and onion. Season and crumble until fully cooked through. Set aside and reserve about 2 tbsp of fat in the pan, discarding the rest.
  • Add the sweet potato to the pan and lightly season with salt and pepper. Saute for 7-9 minutes or until tender and lightly crisp.
  • Add the ground beef and onion back to the pan and pour the cheese sauce over. Stir to combine, coating the skillet in the sauce.
  • If desired, add shredded dairy-free cheese on top. Transfer to the oven (set at 400F) and allow to melt.
  • Serve topped with chopped cilantro.

Notes

  • The shredded cheese is optional! It's just as good with just the cheese sauce, but the cheese on top just makes it cheesier looking and feeling.  I recommend going with a homemade dairy-free cheese like this or this for AIP. For storebought, you can try this if you tolerate nightshades.
